Pictures

Noelle was unusually quiet 

in the back of the van on the way to school.

What are you doing back there, Noelle?

"These pictures are just so darn cute, I can't stop looking at them." 

Noelle finally said.

What are you looking at, a book?

"No Mom, it's these"

Noelle said as she held up the package 

of school pictures -

2 dozen of the same picture of her.
